TEAK

Teak is a close grained hardwood with high natural oil content. It is highly resistant to rotting and almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, frost or snow. These characteristics make it the ideal timber for all outdoor applications. Many other hardwoods are used for outdoor furniture and some are even marketed as 'teak substitutes', however, there is no substitute for teak and no other hardwood will perform to the same standard as teak in outdoor conditions.

A high quality teak is from sustainable plantation. Our teak are officially licenced.

Only premium grade plantation grown teak is used in PNZ furniture. The features of premium grade teak are consistent grain structure, the absence of knots, splits or cracks. All teak furniture comes in natural smooth finish.

Teak does not require any special maintenance routine. Left outside, the exposed surfaces of the furniture will become a soft silvery grey in color. Besides, weather will cause some surface erosion leading to slight surface roughness, possible mildew and checking. Checking is a natural process that occurs when teak develops small cracks in the end grain. However, this does not affect the durability of teak furniture.

All teakwood we use in our production comes from TFT supported teak plantations only. Even more, now we also implement SVLK (timber legality verification system), a series of ongoing processes aimed at generate the standards expected to provide legality and assurance for all parties. With this system, overseas consumers were not need to doubt the legality of wood from Indonesia.

STAINLESS STEEL

We use #304 grade stainless steel in our products. It contains a maximum of 0.15% carbon, a minimum of 18% chromium and sufficient nickel to retain an austenitic structure at all temperatures. Grade #304 is the most versatile and the most widely used of all stainless steels. Its chemical composition, mechanical properties, weld ability and corrosion/oxidation resistance provide the best all-round performance stainless steel.

Stainless steel is generally resistant to corrosion. Natural hazards such as dust and moisture in the air can attack the finish on this type of outdoor furniture. A regular cleaning of stainless steel frames is required on a monthly basis to remove the natural deposits, salts. Use fresh water only; spray the frames down thoroughly at a high hose pressure. A soft dusting cloth can then be used to enhance the surface.
